"and jammed 11 cookies into the vcr"

^ name that movie..... (Elf)

first things first why would someone do first things second but tonight I am baking.... I'll let that sink in..... Christmas cookies. yepp. I bought the mix stuff see how much I know about baking I just have to stir it and spread it and cut it and bake it and frost it and eat it. the last time I attempted to bake something Erin was helping me and I ended up just eating the batter and not really doing anything else. and the time before that I burnt it all. and every time I've ever made muffins at work something goes wrong. so tonight should make for a great story. which I will most definitely share with all y'all.

secondly, I bought a wall plug-in thingy from Bath&BodyWorks and oh my goodness it smells Heavenly where has this been my whole life?! right now I have twisted peppermint in it and I never wanted to breathe more in my life. it's that good.

thirdly, I quoted Elf in my head yesterday. and I'm not ashamed. I forget what happened exactly but my response was "son of a nutcracker" and then I laughed. I also watched the movie for the fourth time in the last five days. and I'm not ashamed of that either. it was on 25 Days of Christmas.. I couldn't help myself.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

...am I the only one who substitutes "we can dream by the fire" to "we can drink by the fire"??


I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

"are you serious, Clark?"

Elf

 what IMDb says::

After inadvertently wreaking havoc on the elf community due to his ungainly size, a man raised as an elf at the North Pole is sent to the U.S. in search of his true identity.

what I say::

awesome. amazing. wonderful. terrific. cheerful. hilarious. etcetc. I love this movie. if you haven't seen it which I found out the other day that Erin hasn't seen it you must watch it!! seriously. go right now. it's that good. plus it has Will Ferrell, he's hilar. and James Caan. and so much Christmas spirit. 5/5.

Christmas Vacation

 

what IMDb says::

The Griswold family's plans for a big family Christmas predictably turn into a big disaster. 

what I say::

one of my favorite Christmas movies. if not my all time favorite. it's hilarious. this is a classic in the Lane family and many of the quotes are said daily.. year round.. in my family. we watch it when we decorate our Christmas tree.. and other days as well.. but you know what I mean. fantastic movie. 6/5 yea, it's that good.

so stop being a cotton-headed-ninny-muggins and watch both of these movies if you haven't already. you will not be disappointed. I promise.

the post title comes from Christmas Vacation.. in case you didn't know.

oh and I decided yesterday I was going to make Christmas cookies.. if you know a fun but easy recipe share it with me, please! it just has to be easy, since I cook never.

life is good

what are you asking Santa for??


life is good

she's country.

I've recently encountered some pretty awesome songs that I'd like to share with the blog world. if you don't like country music (which how could you not) I suggest you stillgive these songs a chance, although you probs won't like them.. or I think you'll claim to not like them, even if you kinda do.

that's the thing with country. a lot of people say they don't like it, but there's always that one song that they do like. well, to me that means they do actually like country they just don't want to admit it. just saying.

anyways, I'll let the music speak for itself now... enjoy!

Beer With Jesus - Thomas Rhett

this is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

The Only Way I Know - Jason Aldean (featuring Luke Bryan and Eric Church)

whoever thought of putting these three guys together in one song is a genius. pure genius.

22 - Taylor Swift

some people say TSwift isn't country, but guess what I don't give a damn. she has some good songs, and this is one of them.

Tip It On Back - Dierks Bentley

I've been slightly obsessed with this song recently.

Southern Comfort Zone - Brad Paisley

who doesn't love Brad Paisley.. I mean really.

Weekend Update - LaneVisitsOU2012

normally I give a pretty detailed explanation of what occurred over my weekend. but this weekend was just too much to put into words... in a good way. I went down to Ohio University with Erin and Diana to help Tim celebrate his birthday. I seriously had an awesome weekend.

Friday night we hit up the bars, and because my neighbor//friend goes to OU and works at one of the bars I got all my drinks for free. it was epic.

Saturday we went to a house party and the bars, after getting a little tour from Tim and his sisters. at the party the four of us jammed out to Chicken Fried - Zac Brown Band. that's our group song, we sing it as loud as we possibly can. I lost my voice. but I have to say it was after the party//bars that was really fun. myself, Erin, and Diana were all laying on the air mattress when Tim got home -wasted- and he just dove right on top of us, it was hilarious.. I think it was one of those you had to be there moments. then his roommate decided to do the same while Tim was still on us, it was funny.. even though we were getting crushed.

this is Tim after he got off of us, and passed out like that. I think this explains how the weekend went. there's other pictures that I don't have access to at the moment, but if I get access I will share.

Tim and I both spent our birthday weekend filled with as much alcohol as we could possibly consume.. it was awesome!

11/26-12/2 Goals

1:: get my car e-checked.

2:: get my license plate stickers renewed.

3:: have a great time at the Cavs game.

4:: enjoy my 23rd birthday.

5:: pack//prepare for OU.

okay, so most of those I either had to do (like get my e-check and the license plate stickers and pack for OU) and the others weren't hard to complete. this week I'll try to push myself more.

12/3-12/9 Goals

1:: send out Christmas cards.

2:: laundry, laundry, laundry.

3:: dust my room.

4:: drink 2 tumblers of water everyday.

5:: finalize Christmas present gift ideas.

just a little Twitter action from this weekend...
